Camco International Limited, a leading climate change business in theĀ growing carbon and sustainable development markets, notes theĀ temporaryĀ suspension ofĀ Det Norske Veritas's ('DNV')Ā from undertaking certain activities pursuant to its role as aĀ designated operational entity ('DOE').Ā
The suspension of DNVĀ until the forty-fifth meeting of the Executive BoardĀ inĀ February 2009Ā is not anticipated to have a material impact on Camco's operations.Ā
NotablyĀ Camco'sĀ forward sale obligations are all on a 'best efforts'Ā rather than a 'guaranteed' basis,Ā therefore a delayĀ in the delivery of certified emission reduction certificates ('CERs'), whileĀ a regrettable development,Ā does not create a liability to purchase CERs to meet delivery obligations for the Company.
The suspension of DNVĀ until the forty-fifth meeting of the Executive BoardĀ will impact its ability to carry out the following services for Camco:

- In relation to projects expecting verification prior to 31 March 2009, there are nine projects with expected verifications of approximately 776,000 tonnes prior to 31 March 2009. These verifications will be delayed until later in 2009.
DOEs play an important role in the delivery of Camco'sĀ portfolio ofĀ carbon assets. CamcoĀ contracts with multiple DOEs for validation and verification of its projectsĀ to minimise the risk associated with any one DOE.
